Welcome to Blackthorn Stables
The model horse hobby is many things to many people. For us here at Blackthorn Stables it's about collecting the finest model horses that are competitive in the show ring, all while still having fun and enjoying many differing aspects of the hobby such as tack making, painting, and even drawing some of our best show horses.

History of Blackthorn Stables
I've been collecting model horses since I was 11 or 12 years old. The first summer I collected, my friend and I designed our own Breyer horse barns on graph paper and gave our models names. My barn's name was Blackthorn Stables. My barn colors were Black, Red, and White and my logo was a horse jumping a crescent moon... and well over 10 years later that information hasn't changed but the concept has grown to a more professional level. With the ability to have a source of income, I've been able to obtain some amazing horses and with my new found independence I've been able to take these nice horses and drive hours to a horse show, spending a few nights in a hotel.
Recently we have expanded ourselves to more than OF Plastics and have a dual logo. We've retained the Crescent Moon Jumper, but added a Tennessee Walking Horse with a Crescent Moon to reflect our present focus on Gaited Horses of the Custom and Artist Resin variety.
It has been so wonderful to have a wholly supportive spouse who encourages me to collect, show, and bring back the dreams and happiness of my youth... through these horse models.
It is also very much worth noting that there is a real Blackthorn Stables as well. I've run a very successful horse training business under this name. I've recently moved to a new state, but I'd love to continue working with horses under the Blackthorn name as well!
